When presenting the plan, Vitézy explained how he would like to restore the functioning of the railways. The intentions also include extending Budapest metro line number 3. The plan has become a topic of political debate mainly because of the parts concerning Lake Balaton. HVG ↗
Former Minister of Public Administration and Regional Development Tibor Navracsics criticized the fact that, in his view, the package lacks the Balaton circular railway. On social media, he wrote that he finds it interesting how the future of Balaton is being planned from Budapest. Dávid Vitézy also responded to his objections, though the provided materials do not elaborate on the details of the response. HVG ↗
The press conference on the railway plan was also accompanied by reports of an incident at Budapest's Nyugati station, where, according to the articles, Prime Minister Magyar first approached a man, who then spat on him. According to available information, Magyar announced that he would not file a criminal complaint against the man. Further developments will depend mainly on how the government elaborates the financing and regional parts of the railway program. Index.hu ↗
